Creating your first event

*Applies to the web app at *app.pictor.pro.

Create the event

1. Go to Events.

2. Click Create New Event.

3. Choose how you want to build it:

1. Fill in Event Name and the four schedule fields — Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time.

2. Click Continue (Guided) or Save Event (Quick).

Your event exists from this point. Client and Project are optional.

Guided Mode walks you through it; Quick Mode drops you into the editor.

Finish setting it up

In Guided Mode you work through four more steps: Workflow Builder, Global Styles, Output Delivery, and Preview & Launch.

Every step already has working settings, so Continue is a valid answer to any of them. Click Finish, then Go to Launchpad.

What your event can already do

A new event is not empty. Before you change anything it has a working guest journey — intro, experience picker, capture, preview — plus email delivery, a public gallery and an event code.

Set the times correctly

Your event opens and closes itself at the times you set. There is nothing to press on the day.

Guests arriving before your start time see "This event has not yet started." After your end time they see "This event has finished."

Set the schedule to the hours you will actually be on site, and give yourself a margin at each end.

Test it before the day

Open the Launchpad and click Simulation test. Walk the whole journey as a guest would, and check the delivery actually arrives.

Run it on the device you will use at the venue, on the venue's network if you can. Most event-day problems are the network or the camera, and neither shows up when you test from the office.

Run a simulation from the Launchpad before the day.
